What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Margin and profitability trajectory: Gross margin reached 60.3% (up 680 bps YoY; up 2,050 bps QoQ), driven by lower device costs and improved service margins, helping narrow the net loss to $(1.4)M .
- Sequential revenue rebound: Revenue rose 105% QoQ to $4.23M, recovering from Q2’s delays in multi‑unit Enterprise Health deals and benefiting from higher‑margin mix .
- Cost discipline: Sales & marketing ($1.3M), R&D ($0.6M), and G&A ($2.1M) all declined YoY due partly to ERC credits and lower headcount/discretionary spend .
- CEO tone: “We were able to successfully navigate through an unusually challenging second quarter… remain focused on executing our growth strategy while carefully managing our resources.” — Scott Davis (CEO) .
What Went Wrong
- Revenue growth still muted YoY: Revenue up only 2% YoY despite the large QoQ rebound, reflecting underlying softness in Enterprise Health device sales vs. prior year .
- Cash balance decline QoQ: Cash fell to $2.7M at 9/30/25 from $5.2M at 6/30/25, necessitating a post‑quarter $3.7M gross equity raise to support operations .
- Strategic review introduces uncertainty: Company is exploring transactions possibly including acquisition outside current industry and/or sale of substantially all current business, with no timeline or assurance of completion .

Management Commentary
- “As demonstrated by our revenue rebound, increased gross margin and improved bottom line in Q3‑2025, we were able to successfully navigate through an unusually challenging second quarter. Moving forward, we remain focused on executing our growth strategy while carefully managing our resources.” — Scott Davis, CEO .
- Q2 context on deferred orders: “Two multi‑unit device sales… one international order delayed due to regulatory challenges… [and] a North American IDN… in the million dollar range… about $1.4 million [in total].” — Scott Davis .
- Q2 on Personal Health scaling: “Pipeline of more than 45 Medicare beneficiaries… AI initiatives via NVIDIA Connect and AI voice agent for EksoNR; leveraging 350,000 patient sessions and over 15 million step‑by‑step data points.” — Scott Davis .
Q&A Highlights
(No Q3 2025 call transcript located; highlights below reference the Q2 2025 Q&A for near‑term context.)
- Deferred deals and timing: ~$1.4M in deferred multi‑unit Enterprise Health sales (≈$1.0M NA IDN) expected to occur in 2H25, with confidence on closure .
- Personal Health reimbursement: Claims progressing through CMS; one ALJ case remanded and approved; focus on stronger documentation with PRIA/partners to improve success rates .
- Grant exposure: Approx. 10% of North American enterprise customers rely on federal/outside grants; budget uncertainty is a factor in timing .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025 revenue modestly beat S&P Global consensus by ~1.7% ($4.23M actual vs. $4.16M estimate*); EPS loss of $(0.54) beat the $(0.97) estimate* by ~$0.43, driven by margin expansion and lower OpEx .
- Given the QoQ rebound and 60%+ gross margin, forward estimates may reflect improved margin assumptions and potentially a smoother Enterprise Health order cadence, but continued capital budget and grant uncertainties warrant caution .
*Values retrieved from S&P Global.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Margin inflection: 60.3% gross margin and reduced OpEx drove a substantial EPS beat vs. S&P Global consensus, signaling healthier unit economics and service profitability .
- Demand normalization: A sharp QoQ revenue rebound suggests Q2’s shortfall was timing‑related; sustained conversion of deferred orders remains the near‑term swing factor .
- Liquidity actions: Cash of $2.7M at Q3‑end followed by a $3.7M gross equity raise strengthens near‑term runway for working capital and strategic initiatives .
- Personal Health optionality: Channel buildout (NSM, Bionic P&O) and reimbursement process maturation could increase Personal contribution over time, diversifying growth drivers .
- Strategic review: Active exploration of acquisitions outside current industry and/or sale of substantially all current business adds optionality but also uncertainty on medium‑term strategy and valuation path .
- Watch list: Closure of deferred Enterprise Health deals, Medicare claim throughput rates for Indego Personal, pace of AI feature integration, and any updates on strategic alternatives .
